In step 2 of the IRP, you must Justify using an interdisciplinary approach. The four ways to do this are discussed starting on page 93 of the course text. Applying these, justify using an interdisciplinary approach to the paper topic you’ve selected for the term paper (review term paper assignment guidelines before deciding on a topic). e.g. my problem is complex because…. Important disciplinary insights on my topic include X, Y, Z….etc. ( you choose the research question, I was thinking something on AI robots)
Next. Your first workshop will ask you to create a visual depiction of the 10-step interdisciplinary research process as it will apply to your forthcoming research. The purpose of this assignment is to help you understand the process better by applying visual metaphors and to help you plan for the term paper. In other words, how would someone in your field (an artist, designer, programmer) understand and explain the 10-step process? You may create a flow chart or diagram, or you can do something more abstract. You may or may not use colors, but you must have something other than words. If you feel creatively “stuck” then I encourage you to imagine the process as a recipe and depict it that way. The steps can be found on page 84 of the Repko & Szostak text. See an example depicting the first two steps below. Assignments are not accepted by email.
Guidelines:
All 10 steps must be depicted
Any medium can be used, including computer drawing programs, hand-drawn/painted images, or photograph collages
Label and explain each of the steps in the image
If images are taken from the web, they must be licensed for free-useLinks to an external site.
If submitting a photo of hand-drawn/painted creations, be sure the image is clear and taken with plenty of light
